Story
🌸 Meet Nia — the Little Heart Who Just Needs Time 🌸Nia is a petite 1-year-old mixed-breed sweetheart who came to us from an accidental litter, and because she didn’t get much early socialization, the big world is still a pretty scary place for her. Meeting new people is hard, new environments are overwhelming, and she’s looking for someone who understands that trust takes time.But here’s the beautiful part: once Nia lets you in, she loves you with her whole heart.She becomes your shadow, your cheerleader, your snuggle buddy, and your very best friend.Nia is fully vetted, young, smart, and so ready to bloom — she just needs a patient, gentle human who can help her build confidence at her own pace. A quiet home, a calm routine, and someone who celebrates small wins will help her shine.If you’re the kind of person who finds joy in helping a fearful dog feel safe, Nia will repay you with loyalty like no other. She’s not the dog who runs to new people… but she is the dog who will love you deeply once she knows she can.Give her time, give her patience — and she’ll give you her whole heart. 🖤An adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt.

Story
THIS IS A VERY CHALLENGING DOG. We do not know the full breed, we do know he is part Lab, he was a rescue approximately 3-4 years ago. He is very friendly to people once he gets to know you but very shy and nervous around strangers. He barks ... a lot... has nipped at unfamiliar children before, never bitten down. He recently began attacking our other dog during feeding times forcing us to separate them. He pees whenever someone tries to touch him. When someone new comes into the home he barks and pees, becomes terrified and does not listen, when attempting to grab him to move outside he pees more and defecates. This has made having him in our home untenable. We have tried multiple trainers without success. It can be very difficult to have guests or have any of our kids friends over. Ultimately we have tried for close to 4 years and can no longer care for him. This is a last resort before euthanasia.
